Check rates for Margaritaville Resort Times Square
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own New Yorkhotel search — search for “Margaritaville Resort Times Square” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +1 212-221-3007 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it for Times Square and the pool listing; read the inconsistent-amenity and breakfast-expectation warnings before you pay upscale Midtown money — several categories sit at 8.72 beneath flat 10s elsewhere.
The address is theatre-district core: Times Square 0.2 km, Broadway 0.3 km, Rockefeller Center 0.6 km, MoMA 0.9 km. Location scores 10 out of 10; service and overall experience do too, from 6,561 reviews captured 18 December 2025.
The supplier rating is 9.2 out of 10. Cleanliness, room quality, amenities, value and food and beverage all sit at 8.72 in the property’s records — an unusual flat cluster below the 10s on service and location. Cons name small rooms and inconsistent amenities, including pool availability language in the amenities summary.
Facilities list fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, soundproof rooms, parking and pets allowed. That pool listing matters against the Riu, but the guest analysis says some advertised amenities were not available — read that before you book for the pool.
Breakfast expectations versus price appear in the food summary without a quoted rate. JFK is 22 km on the POI row.
Best for
- Families who want a pool listed within 0.2 km of Times Square
- Travellers who prioritise service and location scores at 10 out of 10
- Anyone travelling with a pet — pets are listed as allowed
Not for
- Guests who need every listed amenity available — inconsistency is a named con
- Anyone expecting large rooms — small and cramped language appears in cleanliness and room summaries
- Breakfast absolutists — breakfast expectations versus price are criticised without a rate here
Verdict last reviewed . Rates, refurbishments and management change — re-check anything time-sensitive before booking.

Third-party guest reviews: 9.2/10 from 6,561 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
